This house classic would help establish the successful careers of Vega and partner Kenny "Dope" Gonzalez, who would later become more famous as Masters at Work, and for Marc Anthony, who picked up his first number one single on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart.[1] The track also featured backing rap vocals from Doug Lazy, Todd Terry on keyboards and co-production, The Basement Boys (the production team behind Crystal Waters and Ultra Naté) on piano and Luis Vega, Sr. on saxophone. This would also be the last single that Marc Anthony worked under freestyle genre before he signed on with RMM to start his career as a salsero singer.
The single reached number one on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart in the United States during the week ending October 5, 1991 and stayed there for only one week.
